Fox News Rocks

I love it when the Drudge Report puts up the numbers for cable news. As a longtime Fox News junkie, I love to see the "Fair & Balanced" network absolutely dominate the left-wing loonies, like Olbermann and Maddow.

Of the Fox shows, I watch Bret Baier and Glenn Beck regularly, even if I have to record them to the DVR. But I appreciate that the supposedly "right-wing" Fox News has some diversity in its winning lineup: I'd call Sean Hannity strongly right-wing. But O'Reilly and Beck are more traditional libertarians, Baier seems moderately conservative (?) and Shepard Smith and Greta Van Susteren seem moderate to liberal on some issues. As a right wing nut myself, I can tell they're at least not as conservative as I am.

(…the heretics… *mumble, mumble*…)
